had a lot of people that wanted to deny ignorance but here we have a situation where the blinders are willingly put on. These "organizations" are
not your friend...they are enslaving you.

Apparently there are only a couple of us that understand it and believe in it.

It moves to prove a point.
That when the Govt can give you free stuff, it can take it away, or make you jump through hoops.
I, like the Govt, gave sirhumperdnik a crumb, much like what the Govt does. With that crumb, I have requirements, when said crumb is used/consumed,
just like the Govt.

If you want to get free crap, don't bitch and moan when the master tells you to jump.

I never once offered to help everyone.
That is the job of the individuals in the given area.

But again, gloss over the whole fact that the Govt can't do anything correctly, so let's keep having them steal from some, take a large percentage
off the top, and then hand it out to others. SO long as it is either "for the children" or "to help someone".

I, personally, have no problem with helping or feeding someone in need. PERSONALLY.

since you have no problem with helping, let's get it done

there are 1.44 million new recipients in just one month, so, quit with the side-stepping, passing the buck, pretending it wasn't you who offered,
yadda, yadda, yadda and put your resources in action ... fellow Americans need help.
please, don't delay.

But, why do I need to help others, the Govt does it for me. It takes a sizable amount of MY income to provide for them.

I do love the way you attempted to corner me on what I stated. It was cute. Not very well planned out, but cute.

If you're posting from a personal computer, that means you have the money to afford food, a house, AND luxuries. Even after the welfare taxes are
taken out.

So is taking about food stamps supposed to help the entire country, or just you? Because I have already proven that it won't even touch the national
debt. You're just peeved because your surplus is used to help those who need it.

That's pretty selfish. If you don't like how America works, then leave the country. I'm sure there's much less compassionate nations that would be
happy to welcome a penny-pinching miser.

Yeah, because no one on Welfare has a personal computer and internet.
And that means what??
Oh, I get it. Now YOU get to decide how much of my income I get to keep.
I get it now. I make Too much, so the Govt needs to relieve me of MY money.

No, I am not peeved about helping people.
I am peeved that I am forced, by the Govt, to allow them to steal money, because I make a certain amount, take a large percentage of stolen money, and
then give it to someone else.
I forgot, when I go to work, I am not exactly working to provide an income for myself and my family.
I have to work to provide for everyone else as well.

Why do I need to leave a country that was not designed to operate the way that it has been bastardized into by Progressives?
How about this. If you so badly yearn for Socialism and Marxism, why don't you leave and go to a country that currently has those policies in place
and was designed to operate under that?
I hear Cuba is fantastic this time of year, maybe China or Russia.

Oh, and selfish that I am tired of the Govt stealing my money to give to others???? That is funny.

I still don't understand what your problem is. Are you trying to tell me that you believe you should personally judge who is worthy of being funded
by your taxes? Maybe you should personally assess the congressman who will represent you, or the governor, or the President, because you clearly
don't trust our elected officials to do their job.

No, I am not peeved about helping people.

Then go on food stamps, so you can enjoy too.

Stealing your money? Here's an idea: move. No one is forcing you to stay and support the government. Go to Italy or Canada.

Really, have I not stated that enough??
I guess I will state it again.
I AM TIRED OF THE GOVT STEALING MONEY FROM ME, TO GIVE TO OTHERS.
Does that clarify my position?

No, but let's instead put Govt in charge.
See the issue.
I don't judge those I help.
But, the Govt has no business stealing from me to give to others.

No, no I don't trust them.
Do you?

Why??So I can go against my principles and live off the back of others???
Oh, that is an attempt of walking in another persons shoes.
You fail.

Yes, stealing. Where I have no say in the Govt TAKING MY money.
I did not give permission for them to take the money.
If you were to take my money, that is theft.
But, since the Govt does this, with "good intentions", it is ok.

Why do I need to leave a country that was never designed to function in this manner?
Oh, I get that as well. You think like a Possessive, and that since it is the going thing, that I must accept it.
Yeah, still don't see food stamps in the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

Well Macman...you have fought the good fight on this thread and I give you a tip of the hat. You have stood by your ideals and have defended them in
the face of being called terrible things.

All I want is for people to come to grips with something. No "business" does anything without expecting something in return. Sadly....our Gov is a
business. It does not offer help without expecting something back. They are enslaving us and no one seems to get it. They are demanding we act this
way or that and in exchange...you get to eat today. Does no one else see a problem with this?

I do not understand why some of our brethren want to think the Gov is a friend....that it is somehow beneficial. I hate to break this to you, but you
are suffering from a blinding of the eyes. What we now live under is no different than a Monarchial system...your "King" expects certain things and
he will have them or else. Sure...the faces change...but the monster...the power behind the throne...is still there...still reaching into your pocket
and standing on your throat.

I can only hope that one day people will come to understand the beauty of Liberty...the wonderfulness of freedom. That in it's most pure
form...Anarchy is not a bad-bad thing...when we have evolved to be capable of self governing...when we know what is right and what is wrong and choose
to do right...that is when the skies will split...that is when the words of Christ will be understood...."The kingdom of heaven is within men"...we
have the power to make a perfect world...but we choose not to.
